MANAGE YOUR DOMAIN HOSTING

• To make your domain hosting work with your ProHosting account, you need to make sure that your domain name points to the following name servers:

  Primary Server Hostname: NS1.DNS-SOLUTIONS.NET
  Primary Server Address: 208.87.135.150
  
  Secondary Server Hostname: NS2.DNS-SOLUTIONS.NET
  Secondary Server Address: 69.160.95.4

• There are many different organizations that allow you to register a domain name. Your domain will need to be modified through the same organization it was registered. The procedure for modifying a domain at each of these different registrars will vary. If you are un-sure where your domain name was registered, ProHosting will be glad to help you transfer your domain to our servers. Please email support@prohosting.com and let us know what your domain is and we can guide you through the process.

How long does it take to modify an existing domain?

• Depending on the registrar used to register your domain name originally, the time to modify an existing domain name can vary.
• When a domain modification is accepted, something called domain propagation needs to take place.
• Before a transfer takes place, the "Internet" knows where your domain name is, and remembers it. This is referred to as caching. When your domain name is modified, the "Internet" will still remember your domain name, and direct traffic to where it was previously hosted. The cache will eventually expire, and the "Internet" will start finding your domain name in the correct location. This process can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 7 days, but in most cases, it takes 24-48 hours. This time will also be different for each ISP, so someone connecting through a different ISP than you may be able to see your domain name before you can or visa versa.
